To Do List

Here is a half-baked idea rattling around in my head. How about getting participants to create TO DO lists.
There are all kinds of ways you could use these.

1. Pick a theme. Let's say Leadership. Have people come up with 6 things on the TO DO list of a leader. Then compare them. My list:

- get hearing checked
- read the newspaper
-work on the front line for a day
-chat with my grandfather
- talk to a high school class
-let someone go

So this tells you a bit about me, yes?
When people compare their lists they can explain why they wrote each idea.

2. Look Back
What would a famous person have on their TO DO list?
Sir Isaac Newton - buy a bag of apples
Napoleon - appoint cousin to royal family
Einstein - buy more chalk

You get the idea. Fun, whimsical and a review of what that person actually accomplished. Could be all good, or could be bad and negative.

Head of _______________- Corporation - Sell stock before word gets out.

Anyhow that is my thought of the day.
I got the idea when I heard about a book that lists what famous people would have downloaded on their IPODS. Now these famous people are dead, but according to a pcychic, they have made their selections.

If you come up with a fun way to use this let me know.
